White paper on the digital product passport published

From 2027, the digital product passport (DPP for short) will be gradually introduced in the EU to promote the circular economy and create more transparency along the entire value chain. This development will be crucial for access to the EU market in the future. The digital product passport provides access to relevant product information along the entire supply chain. It enables companies to store, update and share detailed information about their products in digital form.

In partnership with GS1 and Circular Economy Switzerland, BloqSens, a leading provider of Digital Product Passport solutions, has published a white paper. This white paper, entitled «The Digital Product Passport (DPP) - The entry ticket to the EU and circular economy of the future», explains the concept, significance and implementation of the DPP as a key EU instrument under the European Green Deal and the Eco-Design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). From 2027, the DPP will gradually become mandatory for product groups such as steel, batteries and textiles. The aim is a transparent, resource-efficient and climate-neutral economy. The DPP serves as a digital data carrier that bundles information on the origin, materials, reparability, recyclability and environmental impact of a product. This enables sustainable purchasing decisions, repair and reuse models and traceability along the supply chain.

The white paper describes opportunities such as increased transparency, resource efficiency and new business models, but also challenges in terms of IT infrastructure, data security, interoperability and costs - especially for SMEs. Using concrete pilot projects, it shows how companies can analyze their database, build DPP prototypes and use existing GS1 standards (e.g. QR codes with Digital Link). The guide emphasizes the importance of cooperation, standardization and the courage to transform. The DPP is positioned as the key to the circular economy, a competitive advantage and a practical tool for implementing sustainable business models.

The white paper can be downloaded here. In addition, Circular Economy Switzerland and BloqSens will present the Digital Product Passport and the latest developments in EU regulations at an event on January 21, 2026. Participants will learn from two companies how to prepare for the DPP in the furniture and textile industry.
